Hi Oliv82 :)

Just to be clear, this is not my work. I found it and thought others might not be aware of it.

It is not multiplayer, it is a customized version of Epoch 1.0.6.2 designed to allow a single player experience on a "live" server. It's intended to make it as easy as possible.

If you have the required Arma 2 version (which even I have (v1.63.131129)) then drop the files in, then double click one...



...wait for the server and database to start and then click the other.

That's literally all you do.

I feel my title (SP Epoch) is a little misleading, especially to the regulars on this forum, because we know exactly what SP is - it's something you can click "save" or hit "ESC" and walk away for RL - but this is very close to that and just as easy. You drop the downloaded files into your Arma 2 folder...


 
There's so much here in this version, opened buildings (from Zero I think), great choice of weapons & vehicles and it's all so easy and accessible - unlike DayZ SA that I've been playing which, although it has a fantastic atmosphere, is nothing but an exercise in frustration - mostly from a clunky UI. And don't get me started on the vehicles....
 
Long story short, I'm having a great time. Even when I'm dying, I'm having a good time. Some of those AI on the missions are brutal. Oh, and the missions (the WAI ones I think) sometimes have static guns and land mines... the two vehicles in the last screenshot for my first post are no more.... and I don't know how I survived!
